Ok so I guess I will get the Whole House FM transmitter because it seems to be the best for what I need and it is FCC certified so I am guessing if in some odd snario they showed up I am assumeing I can show them what im useing and that it is not motofied in any way shape or form. So I guess my last question is will I be safe useing the Whole House FM transmitter? I know someone earleier said that that transmitter does not fit the requirements but yet it is certifed.
Thanks 🙂
In my opinion if you buy a truly certified part 15 transmitter and it proves to be overpowered via an inspector but you have the manual to show you set up the transmitter as recommended you may have some ground to plead your case. Remember that certification only means that the US company is allowed to sell the transmitter in the USA. This is how foreign companies can get away with selling transmitters. The Signstek CZE-T200 has a low power level of 0.01 mW. The certified Whole House FM transmitter has an out of box power of 10 mW. So 1 mW is far less than 10. Probably closer to max legal. In my opinion however it may cause issues with some Radios due to the improper pre emphasis. We have talked about the C. crane being WAY under powered.
There have been several instances of fake certifications, as well. A seller will advertise a certified or compliant transmitter, and possible even have a page of certification data on their website. All made up. I can't remember specifically, but there have been several discovered and discussed here. After looking at a certain transmitter you can search the FCC database to find and read all the actual submitted certification information. If it's not there, you've been fooled. Heck, you can even type into google "Super Blaster FM transmitter 123abc fcc certification" and you should find a page on the FCC site (fcc.gov should be in the address).
I'll start some new thoughts in a new thread later today. Off to work.
